EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN ISO 5077 testing. EN ISO 5077 specifies a method for determining the dimensional change of fabrics, garments or other textiles when subjected to an appropriate combination of specified washing and drying procedures.
In the case of textiles or deforming materials, the utmost care must be exercised in interpreting the results. The atmospheric conditions required for conditioning and testing are described in the ISO 139 standard.
While testing, the sample is conditioned in the specified standard atmosphere and dimensions are measured before it is subjected to appropriate washing and drying procedures. It is then washed in detergent-treated water at a certain temperature and under controlled conditions. The test sample is then dried, remeasured and changes in dimensions calculated.
This test method is intended to determine the dimensional stability of fabrics and clothing to water washing in a laboratory wash testing machine. The method can be applied to all fabrics and fabric samples cut from clothing.
In the textile industry, sagging, stretching and loss of form are known as dimensional instability, and these properties are factors that are considered in terms of quality when producing fabrics and a textile-based product.
Special dimensional stability tests have been designed to evaluate how fabrics and clothing behave under finely tuned conditions through industry-focused standards developed by international organizations. A fabric or garment that has been extensively tested must withstand the following tests:
